(#7) An Officer Arrested A Nurse After She Refused To Let Him Take Blood From An Unconscious Patient
On July 26, 2017, Rigby, Indiana, truck driver William Grey, 43, was in a car accident and suffered extensive injuries, which left him unconscious. While at the hospital, Salt Lake City police detective Jeff Payne was following a request from the police department to get a blood sample from Gray to see if he had any illegal substances in his system at the time of the accident. Since Gray was unconscious, the head nurse at the University of Utah Hospital’s burn unit, Alex Wubbels, calmly explained to Payne that she could not legally allow him to draw blood from the patient.
Payne was wearing a body camera, and the exchange went viral. After Wubbels refused to let the officer draw blood from the unconscious patient without a warrant, the aggressive officer told Wubbels he would take her to jail for interfering with police matters. Wubbels explained to Payne that she was simply following hospital orders. Payne then told Wubbels she was under arrest as he pulled her arms behind her back and handcuffed her. The officer then placed her in a patrol car as she screamed for help.
Wubbels was not charged with any crime, and she was released from custody. The department fired Detective Payne from his job of 27 years following the exchange with Wubbels. Payne has filed an appeal against the termination.
